Living in the Mycelial World

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Restoration of woodland caribou to the Lake Superior region

Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) historically occupied the boreal forest zone across the North American continent. The distribution and abundance of the species has declined in the past century. In particular, it has been extirpated from much of the southern limits of its historical range on both sides of the boundary between Canada and the

Calcium Isotopic Composition in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) Bones and Tooth Enamel: A Scalable Tool to Quantify Nursing Frequency in Past and Modern Populations?

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 23, 15 December 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Populations of North American caribou and Eurasian reindeer (Rangifer tarandus sspp.), essential for Arctic ecosystems and human communities, are experiencing unprecedented declines due to climate change and anthropogenic pressures. While understanding their historical resilience and demographic dynamics is critical for conservation,

Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 4, December 2026.
By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

Sex, Age, and Skull Morphology Effects on Eye Size and Refractive Errors in Reindeer

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We tested the hypothesis that male reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) with larger skeletal dimensions, would have larger eyes and narrower binocular overlap, but similar refractive errors compared to females. After controlling for differences in skeletal measures, males were found to have relatively smaller eyes than females, whereas binocular ...

Roe Deer Capreolus capreolus Home Range Size and Daily Distance in the Agricultural Landscape of East‐Central Poland in Relation to Natural and Anthropogenic Factors

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
The home ranges, core areas, and daily distances traveled of 10 collared roe deer in the agricultural landscape of east‐central Poland were analyzed. We demonstrated the dependence of the home range size and daily distance on natural and anthropogenic factors. We first demonstrated a relationship between home range size and the wind farm impacts on roe
